I have to admit that I do not know what the specail scenario of an opportunity sale is. But in general terms: If you sell something you *do not* need to know where it is physically located. Just at the pont when you create the delivery (-note) you need to have a location/warehouse against it. Some ERP systems require stock location to put in at the time the sale is created. Later everything is shifted by a supply chain optimizer, picking the warehouse with the least transport time/cost. >From that perspective no warehouse should be added on a sale.
